<ul><li>To provide a cost saving resource, through bulk buying, for the Facilities Management group. And, to reduce costly trips by college tradesmen to area supply houses.</li>
<li>To purchase and keep on hand, the necessary housekeeping supplies, and paper products for the Custodial Services department.</li>
<li>To provide a resource for critical maintenance parts, and health and safety related items that may be needed immediately in an emergency situation.</li>
<li>To supply the basic needs of the various administrative and academic departments.</li>
<li>To provide a Central Receiving area for delivery of shipments by common carrier trucks which are too large to deliver to many buildings on campus.</li>
<li>To receive, process and set up for delivery to campus, package express, such as UPS and FEDEX, and to process for pick up, outbound shipments via package express couriers, and common carriers.</li>
<li>To provide storage services for departmental booklets, pamphlets, and other materials necessary to fulfil the mission of the college.</li>
<li>To help save college budgetary resources, by providing a venue for college departments to send surplus, but still serviceable furniture and other equipment, to be recycled for use by other departments.</li>
